1 Timoty 6
1 Aoka izay andevo rehetra eo ambanin’ ny zioga hanao ny tompony ho miendrika hohajaina tsara, mba tsy hitenenana ratsy ny anaran’ Andriamanitra sy ny fampianarana.
Let all who are under the yoke as bond-servants count their own masters worthy of all honor, that the name of God and his doctrine be not blasphemed.
2 Ary izay manana tompo mino dia aoka tsy hanao tsinontsinona azy, satria rahalahy izy; fa vao mainka tokony hotompoiny aza izy, satria mino sy malala ilay mpandray ny soa atao. Izany zavatra izany no ampianaro sy ananaro.
And they that have believing masters, let them not despise them because they are brethren; but rather do them service, because they who receive the benefit are faithful and beloved. These things teach and exhort.
3 Raha misy olona manao fampianarana hafa noho izany ka tsy manaiky ny teny tsy misy kilema, dia ny an’ i Jesosy Kristy Tompontsika, sy ny fampianarana izay mahatonga ny toe-panahy araka an’ Andriamanitra,
If any one teacheth other doctrine, and assenteth not to sound words, the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness,
4 dia mieboebo foana izy ka tsy mahalala na inona na inona, fa adala amin’ ny fiadian-kevitra sy ny fiadian-teny izay mahatonga fialonana, fifandirana, fanaratsiana, fiahiahian-dratsy,
he is puffed up with pride, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, from which cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings,
5 fifandirana lalandava, fanaon’ ny olona vetaveta saina sady efa nialan’ ny fahamarinana, manao ny toe-panahy araka an’ Andriamanitra ho fahazoan-javatra.
incessant disputings of men corrupted in their minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that godliness is gain.
6 Fa misy tombony lehibe tokoa ny toe-panahy araka an’ Andriamanitra omban’ ny fianinana.
But godliness with contentment is great gain.
7 Fa tsy nitondra na inona na inona ho amin’ izao tontolo izao isika, sady hita fa tsy hahatondra na inona na inona hiala.
For we brought nothing into the world; and it is certain we can carry nothing out.
8 Fa raha manan-kanina sy fitafiana isika, dia aoka hianina amin’ izany.
If we have, then, food and raiment, we will be therewith content.
9 Ary izay ta-hanan-karena dia latsaka amin’ ny fakam-panahy sy ny fandrika ary ny filàna maro tsy misy antony sady mandratra, izay mandentika ny olona ao amin’ ny fandringanana sy ny fahaverezana.
But they who desire to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.
10 Fa ny fitiavam-bola no fototry ny ratsy rehetra, koa ny sasany izay fatra-pitady izany dia efa voavily niala tamin’ ny finoana ka nanindrona ny tenany tamin’ ny alahelo be.
For the love of money is a root of all evils; which some coveting have strayed away from the faith, and have pierced themselves through with many pangs.
11 Fa ianao kosa, sy lehilahin’ Andriamanitra, mandosira izany zavatra izany, ka miezaha mitady fahamarinana, toe-panahy araka an’ Andriamanitra, finoana, fitiavana, faharetana, fahalemem-panahy.
But do thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.
12 Miadia ny ady tsaran’ ny finoana, hazòny ny fiainana mandrakizay; fa ho amin’ izany no niantsoana anao koa sy nanaovanao ilay fanekena tsara teo imason’ ny vavolombelona maro. (aiōnios g166)
Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on everlasting life, to which thou wast called, and didst profess the good profession before many witnesses. (aiōnios g166)
13 Izaho mananatra anao eo anatrehan’ Andriamanitra, Izay mamelona ny zavatra rehetra, ary eo anatrehan’ i Kristy Jesosy, Izay nanao ilay fanekena tsara teo anatrehan’ i Pontio Pilato,
I charge thee before God, who giveth life to all things, and before Christ Jesus, who under Pontius Pilate testified the good profession,
14 mba hotehirizinao tsy hanan-tsiny amam-pondro hatramin’ ny fisehoan’ i Jesosy Kristy Tompontsika izany didy izany;
that thou keep the commandment without spot, without reproach, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ,
15 ny Andriana finaritra sady tokana, Mpanjakan’ ny mpanjaka sy Tompon’ ny tompo, no haneho izany amin’ ny fotoany;
which in his own times he shall show, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords,
16 Izy ihany no manana ny tsi-fahafatesana, mitoetra eo amin’ ny mazava tsy azo hatonina, Izay tsy hitan’ olona sady tsy hainy jerena; ho Azy anie ny voninahitra sy ny fanjakana mandrakizay. Amena. (aiōnios g166)
who only hath immortality, dwelling in light unapproachable, whom no man hath seen, or can see; to whom be honor and power everlasting. Amen. (aiōnios g166)
17 Anaro ny mpanankarena amin’ izao fiainana ankehitriny izao mba tsy hiavonavona, na hatoky ny harena miovaova, fa Andriamanitra, Izay manome antsika malalaka ny zavatra rehetra mba hifaliantsika, (aiōn g165)
Charge those who are rich in this world that they be not high-minded, nor place their hope in uncertain riches, but in God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy; that they do good, (aiōn g165)
18 mba hanao soa, mba hanan-karena amin’ ny asa tsara, hazoto manome sy miantra,
that they be rich in good works, liberal in imparting, willing to communicate,
19 ka dia hihary fanorenana tsara ho an’ ny tenany ho amin’ ny andro ho avy, mba hihazonany ny tena fiainana.
laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on the true life.
20 Ry Timoty, tehirizo ilay natolotra anao, ka mialà amin’ ny fibedibedena foana sy ny fanoherana avy amin’ izay atao hoe fahalalana, kanjo tsy izy,
O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding the profane babblings, and oppositions of the falsely-called knowledge;
21 izay neken’ ny sasany, ka nania tamin’ ny finoana izy. Ho aminareo anie ny fahasoavana.
which some professing, have erred concerning the faith. Grace be with thee.
